Whilst not wanting to feed the frenzy of journalistic excess that often accompanies such events, I'd suggest the following as a source of info for anyone who pilots aircraft of ANY size, particularly the "Smoke for thought" section.

On-Board Fires and click on 'History of In-Flight Fires'

Despite my suggestions/complaints, our Boeing QRH for cockpit fire/smoke is still printed in small type, thus rendering it somewhat useless in thick smoke. In an era when we see reductions in recall items I see this particular checklist as being one that you might want to be able to action from memory.
